Growth of vehicle transport in Spain
Since 2015, we have noticed growth in the automobile sector in Spain; we can say that, per minute, 5.5 cars are manufactured in our country. Likewise, the transportation of machinery increases in its different versions: agricultural, large volume, gran volumen or for construction. According to a report published by the Automobile and Truck Association (Anfac), which deals with the Valuation of the Logística of Vehicles by road, the transport of vehicles in Spain has increased, which reflects an improvement in the automotive sector, and in 2016 an increase in the sale of new vehicles in our country began to be seen, with an increase of 11%. In addition, the factories managed to increase their production by 5.8%. This study collects information on the distribution of new vehicles produced in the different factories in Spain and reveals that the volume of new vehicles has been transported 3.9% more by road within our borders. And for this, more than 300,000 trucks have been required, with which the vehicles have been taken to their new locations. On the other hand, around 900,000 new vehicles have been transported internationally by road, which represents a drop of 3% compared to previous years, and this is due to the increase in maritime transport of new vehicles for international destinationsNow that you know about the current situation of road vehicle transport in Spain, do not hesitate to count on Transvolando.European panorama and new challenges in peninsular freight transport
Without a doubt, in Spain we still have some pending issues to resolve regarding land transport of goods. According to statistical data, in the rest of Europe, rail freight transport accounts for up to 15-18% of total land transport. Probably, factors such as the extensive railway infrastructure network are one of the greatest arguments to understand this data. For its part, road freight transport must take advantage of the boom it is experiencing and apply the latest advances in innovation and development. This way we can turn it into a more efficient and less polluting means of transportation. In short, neither medium is 100% good or 100% bad. The important thing, and what is really interesting, is to try to take advantage of the synergies that can be found between them. In fact, and as we pointed out before, land freight transport by train has a high intermodality characteristic. Precisely for this reason, a good option to cover large stages of the journey that then end with road transport to the final destination.Contact:+34 674 346 912info@transvolando.comAddress: C/ Empleo, 28 Nave 10 28906 – Getafe (Madrid, España) How to get there?Do you need anything else…?
